why?

[MattRS182]

do people put the 182 manifold on the 172? what kind of gains would you get and is this the difference of 10 bhp between the two? i am quite confused.

Thanks

Think you would be lucky to get a full 10 Hp from the manifold alone other differences are less restrictive cat and exhaust and a better produced inlet/exhaust manifold.
But no doubt others who no more about cars then my limited knowledge will enlighten you.
I think our NA clios are hard to get alot of hp out of so every little helps i guess !

You can get that 182manifold from k-tec can you no

 

[MattRS182]

so if i was to do the 182 manifold conversion to a 172 i would have a 182 without the twin pipes? i understand now thanks

 

[Markpw]

Yes unless you changed the rest of the exhaust

 

[MattRS182]

what do you mean?

 

[MattRS182]

do the 182 and 172's have the same inlets?

 

[Martin_172]

yes, aparently they are better finished on 182s but not 100% sure on that.

182 manifold isnt really about power, its more about increased torque low down in the revs, im fitting mine with decat on friday

182 has different manifold, free flowing cat, different ecu map and better exhaust system as standard. hence the 10bhp well 10ps

 

[MattRS182]

excellent thanks for the help

Haha why cant all threads make this much sense....
